September Inspiration

September 3, 2015/

For the whole month of September, I will be doing a 30-day minimalism challenge, where I try to be a minimalist (as the challenge name suggests) by decluttering my life and figuring out the more important things in life.

Hopefully, this will help me to be more well-balanced, committed, and organized, to name a few goals. This was inspired by Ate Elisa’stweet a week ago (?) and I opted to do it and start on September since it seemed like the right to do – you know, new month, new start – and since it would be just a few days before August ends and September begins. I hope this will inspire you as well to do the challenge. I believe they are little things that can go big eventually, and small things that you can help you be and feel better day by day. &hearts;

Quick trivia: I am not an Ate-Kuya kind of person, I only am when I highly respect the person, or when the person is a complete stranger and I don’t know how to address him/her.

I wrote everything down on my notebook, or what I call my 2015 Life Notebook, so I could tape the paper on my bed’s headboard, but I still haven’t gotten around to doing that very simple less-than-one-minute task. :-/ If you want a quicker reference that you can bring with you anywhere, here’s the photo of it. Sorry if I made things too complicated.
